Additive manufacturing with Arcam electron beam melting

CSIRO has recently established an Arcam additive manufacturing facility, the first in the southern hemisphere, to provide industry with access to advanced electron beam melting technologies for three-dimensional (3D) printing of metals.

Getting more from ore

The Titanium Technologies Theme mission is to develop and commercialise technologies which enable the cost efficient use of titanium metal.

Australia produces more titanium ore than the rest of the world. At current rates of production, we can expect the resource to be depleted in 90 years.

CSIRO is developing technologies to convert ore into metal, and metal into manufactured items, helping Australia to sustain the same export earnings per year and extend use of the resource for up to 9000 years.
